Very Nice

Nice Inn on a busy street. Short walk to Main Street. Exterior is beautifully landscaped and a nice front porch. Our room was a bit small, but very clean and comfy. Hosts are busy but helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious.

When you enter in, it is a very calm and peaceful environment. Very clean. People very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is great. Wonderful location to town. Only feedback would be try to get a room on the backside away from the street as sometimes you can hear traffic.

Eric and his team were wonderful. We feel so lucky that they had a last minute room available for a few days. A delightful and special place to stay. Breakfast and snacks were delicious and plentiful. Bed was comfortable and the shower was HEAVEN. This B&B is just a couple of blocks from the main street of Bar Harbor. We only used our car to drive to Acadia, minutes away from Holbrook House. There is even a park shuttle close, if you don't want to take your car into the park. We cannot wait to go back!!! Highly recommend!!
